I agree. It’s simply terrible that there has been no statistically significant warming in 17 years and 8 months, despite somewhat rising CO2 levels
Climate Change as Crime Against Humanity
Have you ever found yourself thinking about the fact that climate change is both caused by and benefits a certain class of people, and generally does not benefit – and actually harms – another, far larger, class of people? Have you? And have you ever thought that, just maybe, this is not just a moral or ethical problem but a criminal matter? Something like a reckless or negligent crime against humanity? Have you? Well, maybe you have.
No to all for me, but, then, I’m not an unhinged Leftist.
Maybe you’ve even thought, as I do now and then, that there’s no reason to hatch up yet another crime, another law – since that’s just what reckless or negligent crimes against humanity would be. To be sure, there are already plenty of laws – prohibiting all sorts of horrible, exploitative, harmful things. They’re just not enforced. So what’s the use? What would it accomplish to frame climate change as a crime against humanity? I mean, you’re not going to drag anyone off to the International Criminal Court, are you? Or maybe you’ll set up your own tribunal, right here in the street. Why the hell not? It might feel good. And you can still boycott the fossil fuel industry – you and Desmond Tutu and so many others. Why not? It’s not as though – for all practical purposes – you’re forced to drive a car – forced to drive a car to get to work to pay the rent and pay for food and pick up groceries…
But let me tell you, as long as we’re discussing food, the meat industry, according to that UN report, is an even bigger climate change causer – or, if you prefer, bigger perpetrator of negligent and reckless crimes against humanity – than even the fossil fuel industry. I mean, that’s just a fact – just as the very air we breathe is the world’s leading carcinogen. And it’s only getting worse. I mean, I know that facts are somewhat unfashionable. Remember that old Mr. Gradgrind? Wasn’t that his name?
In other words, Warmists are supposed to set up climate criminal courts. And meat is super bad, just like fossil fuels.
The point, however, is that if we’re going to meaningfully boycott the fossil fuel industry (which I’m all for, by the way) we shouldn’t stop there. I mean, it makes little sense to boycott one ecocidal industry while perpetuating others. For instance, did you know that the information technology industry is as big a polluter as the airline industry is? Look it up if you don’t believe me…
So, if I’m reading this right, all Warmists should immediately give up fossil fuels, eating meat, and using technology, especially the Internet. Come on, Warmists, get to it. Otherwise you are committing a crime against humanity!
So if I am reading this right you think you should be able to judge purity and hypocrisy in the lives of other people
Teach why not just realize that the science is above your understanding, it is complex
Then look at whom you are getting your opinions from. Why not trust the US Navy ? Do you think they are now part of this global conspiracy ? Does this conspiracy frighten you? Would the purchase of another gun make you feel better?
Do you feel that the Vatican and the Catholic Church are also in cahoots with these “warmists” that you are always talking about?
Can you step back a bit and see how you present?
Hah! I haven’t seen Islamic Rage Guy since the days of snappedshot.com. Brilliant inclusion, Mr. Teach.
Yes, John, I think they are all dupes, just like you.
IRB was perfect for that photo, which was originally a clown.
